Elijah Topuria conferred the title of UFC champion

Undefeated Georgian welterweight Ilia Topuria believes in his success against Alexander Volkanovski so much that he has already recorded a win over the Australian and declared himself the current UFC champion.

“Reigning undefeated UFC champion. 15-0,” reads a post on the fighter’s social media accounts.

Currently, 26-year-old Elijah Topuria has fourteen professional victories to his credit, six of which he has earned under the banner of the world’s strongest league. The last time the number five of the UFC’s welterweight division entered the octagon in June of this year, he won a five-round unanimous decision over Josh Emmett.

Recall that the featherweight title fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Elijah Topuria will be the main event of UFC 298, which will be held on February 17 in Anaheim.
